      Pros

      At Google you can be sure that most of your colleagues are smart. As a mathematician I learnt a lot there, and I also had the chance to discover a bunch of great tools. Like playing with their knowledge graph to build machine learning models. Also you have a weekly conference on Friday from Larry Page and Sergey Brin, which makes the whole thing even better.

      Cons

      Google is now a big company. Even though they try to remain a start up, the spirit can't be the same after so many years and hires. There are some long processes to get access to data or tools, and what you work on may not have a very big impact. Being surrounded by smart people every where makes it not that easy to highlight your skills.

      Great experience but set your personal objectives

      Pros

      Difficult to beat Google! Best perks and benefits in the industry....Amazing opportunities to work on side projects, to travel, to meet fantastic people. This is actually valued & encouraged even if it means less time on your core job - but you need to show you can manage your time well.

      Cons

      Don't expect you will climb up the ladder! No evolution (besides money obviously, which is the only way they will try to keep you and make you happy). Before starting working there you should set your own personal objectives in terms of what you want to achieve, learn, experience etc. The sky is the limit! But don't expect you will become a VP. Also highly political and the only way to climb the ladder is to play well. Careful: money can be dangerous and you can end up feeling like in a golden jail. It's hard to quit Google and recruiters will laugh at your face when they will hear your salary expectations once you have Google on your resume.
